Liquid Margins 21: Social Annotation Online and on Campus
2021-04-23 12:00 - 12:45
In 2020, schools around the world scrambled to adopt tools to enable remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many teachers found new ways to engage their students in reading using Hypothesis social annotation. Discover how the benefits of reading together with annotation go beyond remote learning. In this episode of Liquid Margins we’ll hear from Mary Isbell of the University of New Haven and John Stewart of the University of Oklahoma, both of whom have long used social annotation to make reading active, visible, and social with their students, and see it as essential for knowledge sharing, community building, and student success. Note: Liquid Margins is a show where we gather to talk about collaborative annotation, social learning, and other ways we make knowledge together.

Using Hypothesis Social Annotation in Blackboard
2021-02-04 12:00 - 13:00
Using the Hypothesis app hosted in Blackboard, instructors can make PDFs and web-based articles annotatable. Students can then annotate their course readings collaboratively, sharing comments, replying to each other’s comments, and learning in community. Instructors can also create annotation assignments using Hypothesis so that students submit their annotation “sets” for grading. Collaborative annotation assignments are a great way to encourage students to more deeply engage with course content and with each other. In this webinar, presented in partnership with Blackboard Learn, attendees will learn how to make readings annotatable using the Hypothesis app, how to instruct students to submit their annotations, and how to grade those annotations in Blackboard.

Mark Up the Margin: Free Pre-conference Workshop at OLC Accelerate 2020
2020-11-06 10:00 - 12:00
Kicking off OLC Accelerate 2020, Hypothesis held a free workshop on collaborative annotation with members of the AnnotatED community. The workshop started with a “Getting on the same page” introduction from Jeremy Dean of Hypotheses, followed by “Notes from the field,” where AnnotatED community members talked about what’s happening with collaborative annotation at their schools, and participants had the chance to discuss ideas and questions with these experienced practitioners. The main focus of the workshop was a “Discussion, annotated” hands-on activity to explore, discuss, and augment readings on topics shaped by Accelerate 2020 keynoter Flower Darby. We practiced reading together to see firsthand how collaborative annotation can build understanding, connections, and community.
